Few Batting Eyes at Obama's Deadly Drone Policy | Nat Hentoff | Cato Institute: Commentary: "He reports that, contrary to the administration's claim that only high-level terrorists researched are targeted, 'the CIA has killed around 12 times more low-level fighters than mid-to-high-level al-Qaida and Taliban leaders since the drone strikes intensified in the summer of 2008.'

Another of his sources, who was involved in our robotic warfare and has since left the service, told him that the CIA's targeting of low-level foot soldiers worries him because 'it degrades the notion we're going after serious threats to the United States.'"

"other American intelligence officers 'proudly tout the drone campaign as the most precise and possibly humane targeted killing program in the history of warfare.'"
